Hoarding Slush Piles

Over the weekend, I TikToked about Spring cleaning and taking a few items to Goodwill on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Last night, I watched an episode of Hoarders and it scared me. I immediately went and cleaned another small area in our creative room after watching a painful episode of someone who needed help butContinue reading “Hoarding Slush Piles”

Book Time!

Tuesday is a trip to the library! It’s time to build our home shelves with more recommended reads from other book lovers. I know there are lists floating around on all kinds of social media but I’m going share is from A Clockwork Reader on YouTube. I choose this reading list because a wide varietyContinue reading “Book Time!”

Reset Time

We sprang forward a few weeks ago and all my clocks changed over except my alarm clock.  You know when you have that feeling that everything is a little off?  I heard clock ticking like a drum on the wall and always felt a few steps off from where I was supposed to be standing. Continue reading “Reset Time”

Yes Day!

This week I started watching a new KDrama (Korean Drama) called “Navillera”.  The series is about an old 70 year old grandpa who never fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a ballet dancer.  His friends are passing away and old dreams stir within him.  He begins his journey back to unfulfilled dreams and living hisContinue reading “Yes Day!”

Publishing Announcement

We’re coming to the end of the month and I can’t keep one of my projects quiet. Over the past year, my journey started by creating prompts because I stopped writing. I published 5 novels in the past and then my unfinished novels sat in the corner but life happened. I started making excuses andContinue reading “Publishing Announcement”

Writing Update

Changing plans over the weekend means that it’s time to get back to the most important part of being an author, and that’s sitting my butt down and writing this week. My goal this week is to add to my page count for one of my fantasy novels. In previous weeks, I took a deeperContinue reading “Writing Update”

Location Writing

Movie producers and actors take their stories onset and on location.  It’s time for our fantasy filled worlds to take shape by going on location this week at an Irish Castle.  Your writing prompt can take place in any kind of castle, even ruins of a castle but the story must take place in Ireland. Continue reading “Location Writing”

Story Telling Day!

Anyone have too many green beers yesterday?  My celebration quiet and at home like many other people this year.  No parades or festivities in Minnesota.  I did see a few TikTokers sharing their dances.  Maybe they had a few too many.   Another holiday for Minnesotans means we are one step away from shedding another layerContinue reading “Story Telling Day!”

Female Writers

This week is supposed to be full of green and four leaf clovers but the storm that dropped feet of snow in Colorado paid us a visit a day later in Minnesota. Temperatures dropped again and the snow fell late into the night. How am I supposed to find my pot of gold with snowContinue reading “Female Writers”

Becoming a Food Writer

Weekends are great for unwinding, exploring, and doing my favorite thing – following other foodies from around the world.  This past year changed locations but it didn’t change my love for cooking shows and baking challenges.  In my opinion, any writer who can make us drool with words and no pictures is a master ofContinue reading “Becoming a Food Writer”

Character Development

Happy Friday!  I hope you were a good student and did your homework yesterday.  I spent hours working on my character profiles and flushing out their back stories.  More importantly, I spent time on asking why questions.  This exercise was inspired by Shaelin at Reedsy or  https://youtu.be/PqKxLx3As28.  If you didn’t have time, or become aContinue reading “Character Development”

Homework Day

The thought of Spring weather is playing with us in Minnesota. We went from 60 this week to rain showers and then snow flurries overnight. Changing from one season to another means we usually experience all seasons within one week. A change in season for me means an awaited call into the local pharmacy, someoneContinue reading “Homework Day”
